Hi
I looking for any Campbells originating from Rathdrum around 1809. My great grandfather John married there and had children but I don't know if he was born there.
Thanks
Rosemary

What does his birthplace say on census?
-
The family didn't move to England until after 1863 when the last son was born in Avoca. The other children were born in Rathdrum. He married Bridget Yorke in 1836 in Carrigleneen. It just says Ireland on 1871 England census, then he died before the next one. Bit of a full stop.
Thanks

Hello
What religion did John follow?
Also do you know whether he worked in the mines in Avoca?

Hi
1854 Griffiths Valuation Currawaystick ,Knockrath ,Wicklow
John Campell renting from William Shannon.
Can't see him on other land records.
The Yorks are from Carriglingeen ,Knockrath ,Wicklow
1825 Tithe
James and Micheal York
Michael married Rose Kavana 1.11.1822 so it looks like James is Bridget's Dad.
James York and Esther Laughlon - Cath 13.1.1820 ,James 24.5.1822.
There's a bit of a gap in the register when Bridget would have been born.
Death cert
James York 1777-1864 Rathdrum (image not on line).
Not seeing any Cambles/Campbells I can pick ou though.

Thank you both. John was a miner when he moved to England so I would say he was a miner before he left.
James York and Hester Loughlin were my ancestors. Their daughter Bridget was my 3x grandmother.
